Winner, Professional Portraiture: Six Degrees of Copenhagen - Based on the idea that every person on Earth is connected in the sixth degree, this series of photos depicts human connections through the city of Copenhagen. The set up is that I portray random people that I engage with in the streets, and that these chance meetings end up with me taking highly personal photos of these people, who then each send me on to another person in their network, who I can portray, who then gives me the name of another person.

Winner, Professional Current Affairs: Personality and society. Reality vs illusions - In 2012, the people of North Korea celebrated the centennial birthday of the founder of their state, Kim Il Sung. Kim Jong Il, who had continued the policy of his father for many years, passed away in 2011. Because of the policies of Kim Jong Il, North Korea remained the most closed country for many years. There has never been any complete and reliable information about developments in North Korea.

Winner, Professional Landscape. A Portrait of the Matterhorn. When I was young, I had long fantasized about climbing the Matterhorn but I never really had the chance. The Matterhorn was the last great Alpine peak to be conquered and its first ascent in 1865 marked the end of the golden age of alpinism. Its North Face, which is on all images, is amongst the "Three Great Problems" in the Alps and was not climbed until 1931. I have been around Zermatt countless times, the village nestled at the foot of the Matterhorn, looking toward the mountains and trying to capture the exquisiteness of this magical peak and its endless state of change; to compress the passing of time the beauty of the wind and the clouds dancing around the mountain. This portfolio is a kind of memento to all climbers who dared to go there and for those who never returned.

Winner, Professional Arts & Culture. The Limousine - A luxury emblem used to transport politicians and rock stars in the '80s, nowadays the limousine has turned into an icon of Argentinean popular culture. Brides in their white dresses, television starlets, fifteen year old girls celebrating their birthdays: they all share the same sensation of sitting one night in an electric blue Ford Fairlane from 1972. "The limousine" explores a limited space in which many diverse things can happen. Between drunken stripteases, tears, and laughter, the limousine is transformed into a scenario of ordinary people that use the dark tinted windows to release their fantasies and their transgressions, under the curiosity of passersby.

In Latin America, the quinceanera - celebration of the fifteenth birthday - is very important because it marks the transition from childhood to maturity. (© Myriam Meloni/2013 Sony World Photography Awards) 

Winner, Professional Campaign. Honkey Kong - an advertising campaign for the sneaker brand Jim Rickey, shot on location in Hong Kong. A 2d platform game tribute. Images were shot from skyscrapers toward the ground, using a telephoto lens to make the image as flat as possible to make it look like a platform game. (© Christian Aslund/2013 Sony World Photography Awards) 

Winner, Professional Contemporary Issues. Prisons of South America - "I spent 10 years traveling to South American jails, a different and complex world in which violence and abuse are part of convict's life. I saw, during the time, how the convicts try to find a space similar to that one they had outside jails. They try to preserve their dignity. The history of this work is not to denounce the situation in jails but to discover and tell what joins and what separates the South American countries."
